Praise for Bring YOUR Shoes
Bring YOUR shoes is a great read for individuals who suddenly find themselves in a role requiring management and supervision of others. Many of us have gone through that transition where we may have all of the technical skills to do our job well but haven't had the experience in leading or managing people. And for most of us, our leadership growth and development was via "on the job training". Bring YOUR Shoes helps readers better understand their roles as a new leader--hint a lot of it falls on the new leader to figure it out and take ownership. Marci does a great job breaking down leadership into bite sized, easy to understand pieces. Great insights to help new leaders better understand their new role. As with all leadership development books, reading this book won't make you a great leader over night, but it is a great starting point to build strong leadership skills and ensure your leadership development continues during your whole career. This book is also great for experienced leaders. I enjoyed reflecting back on my early leadership challenges in my career. Bring YOUR Shoes helped me realize that I'm not the only one who went through these challenges as a new leader.
